c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Impact of Research Experience for Teachers with International and Societally Relevant ComponentsIntroductionWe sought to bridge the divide for teachers and their students between secondary science andmathematics content, on one hand, and the engineering of solutions to real-world societally-relevant problems, on the other hand. The expected outcomes for the Research Experience forTeachers: Energy and the Environment project* (RET) included: 1. Teacher knowledge and attitudes toward science and engineering will improve as a result of participating in ongoing engineering research projects for six weeks during the summer and
built on the ABET requirement for engineering programs and NSS objective 11.The United States Standards Strategy (USSS) was recently released and it calls for expanded and strengthened efforts to assistuniversity and college programs in their efforts to educate students on standards and conformity assessment [3]. The USSS isessentially an update of the NSS.The ANSI CoE has been assisted in its work by a number of US standards developers including ASTM International (ASTM) , theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and others. This effort has also had broad participation andsupport from federal

). The research question guiding thisstudy is: What external factors influence international STEM postdoctoral scholars to pursue aSTEM career? This research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Alliancefor Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP; award #1821008).Literature ReviewBroadening and diversifying participation in the STEM workforce is critical to expanding theU.S. economy. In an effort to cultivate individuals prepared to enter advanced STEM workforcesin academia, industry, and government, postdoctoral positions in these fields have grownsubstantially over the last decade (National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics[NCSES], 2023). During their time as postdoctoral scholars, these individuals develop

A growing civilitymovement is currently being undertaken at several levels: local, national and international.4University faculty can further this movement by practicing classroom civility and incorporatingthe teaching of civility to their students.Define Civility“Civility is a very powerful word.”5 A key characteristic of

Thus, understandingstudents’ perceptions of faculty support in varied settings can provide insight into studentsatisfaction, performance, and persistence in engineering programs. In this study, focus groupswere conducted with 175 students from five different institutions and a variety of

As one of the authors shares: Although my background is in STEM, getting into the field of engineering education research was completely new to me. I had worked with my current advisor before during a summer program, and that experience made me decide to challenge myself by pursuing a PhD in the field. It has been a learning process for me, especially as an International student having to learn concepts and terminology specific to the US education system.Another author describes: I had an experience that crushed my

One such initiative is the Pathway to Entrepreneurship Patent Program,which offers a creative, student-centered framework within graduate education [1]. The purposeof this study is to investigate doctoral students’ and faculty’s experiences and perceptions with apilot patent defense program in engineering disciplines. Despite growing interest, there is limitedresearch on an alternative patent proposal defense for engineering doctoral students.

withglobalization, since not only is the higher education market ever more competitive, but it is alsotrue that engineers increasingly work in their profession in countries different from those wherethey received their higher education. This creates the need for international accreditation ofprograms and homologation of professional degrees.It is within this perspective that quality assurance has been conceived in Colombia in the last fewyears. It includes both accreditation of universities and their programs, as well as theestablishment of minimum compulsory standards for programs and program evaluation exams thatstudents must take before obtaining their degrees.By virtue of the similarities of the region’s conditions, this analysis is relevant for all
